Title: Novel nucleic acid molecules correlated with the rhesus weak d phenotype
Inventor: FLEGEL WILLY A
IPC: C12Q1/6883
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel nucleic acid molecules encoding a Rhesus D antigen contributing to the weak D phenotype which are characterized by one or a combination of missense mutations or by a gene conversion involving exons 6 to 9 of the RHD and RHCE genes. The present invention further relates to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, to hosts transformed with said vectors, to proteins encoded by said nucleic acid molecules and to methods of producing such polypeptides. The fact that missense mutations and the conversion referred to above can be directly correlated to the weak D phenotype has a significant impact on the routine testing of blood samples. For example, oligonucleotides and antibodies can now be designed that generally allow the detection of weak D phenotypes in a sample. Such oligonucleotides, antibodies as well as a variety of diagnostic methods all fall within the scope of the present invention. RhD antigens encoded by the novel nucleic acid molecules may be used for the characterization, standardization and quality control of monoclonal and polyclonal anti-D antisera. Finally, the invention relates to a kit useful for testing for the presence of weak D phenotypes.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is arranged to form an
image with laser light emitted from a semiconductor
laser source, and is constructed so as to protect the
laser source from a breakdown, by regulating electric
current flowing to the laser source no matter when an
adjusting circuit for adjusting the light amount of the
semiconductor laser source is apt to supply the
electric current that could break the laser source, to
the laser source. The apparatus is constructed in such
structure that during an automatic light amount control
period the laser light amount emitted from the
semiconductor laser source is detected and a current
source circuit is made inactive when the light amount
detected is over a set light amount and that during
periods other than the control period the electric
current flowing to the semiconductor laser is detected
and the current source circuit is made inactive when
the light amount detected becomes over a fixed ratio
times the current detected during the automatic light
amount control period. In this way, the protection
circuit can operate effectively anytime of emission of
the laser source, so as to protect the laser source
from the breakdown.

dynamically reconfiguring routes of established
connections in a communications system (52;110) operate

sufficient amount of available bandwidth to accommodate
the new connection. The network node operates in
conjunction with other network nodes in the system to
reroute one or more established connections that have
reserved bandwidth on a communication link on the
optimal route and have a lower priority status than the
new connection, thereby increasing the available
bandwidth on the communication link to accommodate the
new connection. The network node also performs
conventional functions of a router. The network node

system where information is transmitted in packets,
blocks, frames or cells. The network node includes a
reroute-signal generator (98), a network monitor (96)

Abstract: The invention provides a method and materials for monitoring and isolating differentially expressed genes. In accordance with the method of the invention, differently labeled populations of DNAs from sources to be compared are competitively hybridized with reference DNA cloned on solid phase supports, e.g. microparticles, to provide a differential expression library which, in the preferred embodiment, may be manipulated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Monitoring the relative signal intensity of the different fluoresent labels on the microparticles permits quantitative analysis of expression levels relative to the reference DNA. Populations of microparticles having relative signal intensities of interest can be isolated by FACS and the attached DNAs identified by sequencing, such as with massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS), or with conventional DNA sequencing protocols.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de fabriquer un câble électrique torsadé, notamment un câble de distribution secondaire de 600 volts. L'invention concerne également le câble torsadé obtenu. Cet appareil comporte une première pluralité de bobines débitrices stationnaires, comportant chacune un conducteur à fil nu enroulé. Ces conducteurs sont simultanément transférés des bobines débitrices à un accumulateur, de sorte qu'une partie de ces conducteurs est rembobinée pendant le remplacement des bobines débitrices utilisées. Au moins un procédé d'extrusion disposé en aval de l'accumulateur permet d'appliquer une matière d'isolation plastique à un conducteur respectif au moment où ce dernier subit ce procédé d'extrusion. Un bac de refroidissement et/ou de durcissement à travers lequel on fait couler de l'eau permet de refroidir et/ou de durcir cette matière d'isolation plastique. Un accumulateur disposé en aval du bac de refroidissement et/ou de durcissement enroule une partie de chaque conducteur isolé pendant le changement de la bobine enrouleuse disposée en aval de l'accumulateur. Cette bobine enrouleuse peut tourner autour d'un premier axe afin de torsader chaque conducteur isolé en le faisant tourner autour de son axe longitudinal et peut en outre simultanément torsader les conducteurs isolés en les enroulant les uns aux autres de façon à former un câble électrique torsadé. La bobine enrouleuse peut également tourner autour d'un second axe afin d'enrouler le câble électrique torsadé.
